Chapter 213 – 21. I.
She wasn’t the only one surprised.
Most of the people here were surprised, and Illyana and Theodora instantly suspected that they had heard them wrong.
Of course, in the case of making a foreign country a vassal state, there have always been cases where descendants of the royal family were brought as hostages or forced to marry if it was not possible, and there is nothing special about it.
But now, Aran was blatantly coveting Vanessa, not for that reason.
If it’s not a shock, how can I express it?
‘Aran…’
In particular, in the case of Illyana, he knew well about the days when Aran was a Sukmaek, so he was shocked.
‘Could it be that the more she turns into a female Aran, the more strange she becomes?’
It was a ridiculous idea, but Aran’s change was so radical that it felt credible. Especially in this war.
Whether the women were surprised or not, Aran continued.
“The subject country sounds good, but isn’t there a risk to me? If you band together and rebel, it’ll be a hassle for nothing. But isn’t it true that there are other descendants of the royal family besides you ?”
“…”
Vanessa hung her head in despair.
On her bed her, of course she would be saying what her grown-up men and women do, but it was frightening to her inexperience her.
‘Is it going to be like this…’
But it was what was expected.
According to him, as long as Attica was dethroned and erased from the kingdom genealogy, there was only one Vanessa in the Athenian royal family, and from the standpoint of a great that needed stability, it had to create shackles in some way.
But wouldn’t it be possible to take the only member of the royal family as a hostage?
In the end, all she has left is to leave her her Aran seed her.
‘Still, I’m going to say this openly…’
She opened her mouth with her heart quivering.
“I will.”
When her words fell out of her, Aran smiled, the nobles of the Great Kingdom made ambiguous expressions, and the nobles of Athens tightly closed their eyes as if they couldn’t bear to see her.
“Okay. So let’s talk about the traitors, shall we?”
* * *
Recently, the self-proclaimed aristocratic republic centered on Aphrodite was facing a crisis.
Even just a few days ago, it seemed that countless nobles would join in and remain survivors of this war, but that has completely changed as Aran accepted Vanessa as a subject.
As long as the Great Kingdom recognized the Athenian royal family, it would of course become enemies with Aphrodite and his gang, who rebelled against the Athenian royal family.
And Aran, who was writing countless legends, had no chance of winning if he became an enemy.
“Seeing as she’s not replying and the girl isn’t coming back, it seems she has no intention of talking.”
Aphrodite quietly chewed her lips as she said that.
Things didn’t go as well as I thought.
‘Tsk… Didn’t you like that bitch?’
Still, I thought it was too bad that there was no reply even though I had dedicated the nobility.
“I’ll have to talk to you first. Just in case you don’t know.”
“But… Is it possible?”
“Let me visit you myself.”
“Yes?”
“Anyway, I’m not the head of this place. If I go, I’ll be able to have a conversation.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Of course. But I’m the chief, so shouldn’t I take responsibility?”
She looked around at the nobles with a benevolent smile.
The aristocrats did not believe in Aphrodite’s ‘responsibility’ at all, but they did not stop them as they went into negotiations on their own anyway.
‘If I hear the news that things went wrong, I can pack my things and run away first.’
‘We have nothing to lose.’
‘I’ll have to plant as many seeds as possible…’
There were very few people who had a sense of loyalty here.
Same goes for Aphrodite.
‘It was an opportunity to establish my own country… It’s a pity, but I can’t help it. Opportunities will come again.’
Naturally, she hadn’t the slightest thought of taking responsibility.
All she’s thinking is she’s just surviving herself.
They were really thinking the same thing and laughing at each other.

After the meeting, Aphrodite returned to her house and was a little worried.
No wonder I could n’t take her family with me on the way to her negotiations her. In addition, her family was a hindrance in her future work for her.
“Shall we send it somewhere else?”
I wanted to do that in my heart, but there was a possibility that it would be discovered, and it would be very difficult if they came to me unnoticed.
“Or kill them all?”
If you can’t remember the number of stars, you can’t help it.
A family created to enjoy power and wealth in the first place.
He met and dated Yeong-sik of an influential family, and got married strategically.
Just that relationship. There could be no love.
If there is one person whom I have affection for, it is probably a son.
But even that is meaningless in front of power and wealth. Had she been a daughter, she would have raised her as an heir, but he had no hope of being her son her.
“Yes. You have to eat hard.”
That’s how she made her decision.
“Madam. Welcome back. You’ve worked hard today too.”
When she entered her room, her husband greeted her.
Unlike Aphrodite, who had no affection, he was quite affectionate, and although they were married, it was almost unrequited love.
Thanks to this, the relationship between husband and wife is not neglected, so if you do it once a month, you do it a lot.
“Have you had dinner?”
“Yes. I ate.”
She gave a slightly cold reaction and left the room.
Her husband was sorry for her reaction to her, but she said it was not a once or twice occasion.
Never thinking that she would abandon her family for herself…
.
.
When night fell, Aphrodite quietly awoke.
Her body was naked, reflecting the moonlight coming through her window.
An extremely beautiful and elegant body.
She quietly looked to her side of her.
Her husband her, who had lived for more than ten years, was also lying naked.
“It was my last gift.”
She muttered briefly, packed up the things she had prepared in advance, and came out.
In the yard, a few knights, two quadrupeds, and hundreds of soldiers carrying torches were preparing in advance.
“Your Excellency…Really…Do you?”
“Yes. Please do it.”
“…At least, even the young master…”
“Didn’t you hear? I told you to kill them all.”
They told her to kill her husband and children, but she didn’t seem sad at all.
Indeed, she is the woman who would even sell her children for herself.
“…All right.”
The woman frowned her face subtly, but she soon nodded her head and beckoned to her soldiers her.
Then the soldiers drew their swords with stiff faces and entered the building.
“Then, please take care of it.
“I’ll follow you soon.”
“Come after me as quickly as possible.”
As Aphrodite climbed into the chariot, two knights sat on the driver’s seat and started the chariot. And the remaining knights got on the quadruped carriage behind them.
“To think that such a woman is an aristocrat…And a duke…”
The woman who remained in command of her troops shook her head.
She, too, had her husband and her daughters and sons, so Aphrodite’s atrocities could not be understood.
How could she tell her to kill children who she would n’t hurt she even if she put them in her eyes her?
What about her husband her all her life her?
Even though it was an arranged marriage, this was too much.
“I’m not a person.”
People’s screams began to spread behind her as she muted.

“Sokgu-wook?”
Seorae doubted her ears.
“Yes, it is.”
“Hey. Just doing it is a dependent country… No, did you say that those bitches bowed down and entered first?”
“Yes. Your Majesty. Vanessa Athens, the Wise King of Athens, bows her head first.”
Seorae quickly gnashed his teeth.
I was somehow angry.
“What are these bitches trying to do now? Once they’ve done it once, do they see the end? At best, they say they’re going to get out of the vassal state and go into the vassal state of the great kingdom this time?”
“Gee, calm down!”
“Seriously, a piece of shit! If this isn’t making fun of me, what the hell is it?”
Seorae made a fuss saying that he would punish Athens immediately.
Thanks to her her, her nobles her had to dissuade her by mingling with her silent words her.
Fortunately, Seorae calmed down in just (?) 20 minutes, and returned to a state where he could communicate to some extent.
“Yes. Aran chose a tributary country… Hmm…”
She was so infatuated with Aran that she had no intention of objecting if he said he would.
However, I just couldn’t understand it because it was neat to just do an absorption merger for the sake of dutal.
‘His strength is overwhelming, so why did he create a subordinate country… He’s a peculiar guy.’
“Your Majesty, there is more to be done. Recently, requests for negotiations on the sale of goods have been pouring in from around the world, so please consider carefully.”
“Is it about the subject countries?”
“Yes. Your Majesty.”
“Ah, those girls are so persistent. They all refuse…”
“The Habsburg Empire is also included.”
“…”
For a moment she shut her mouth.
No, she almost asked for permission.
Quite automatically.
However, superhuman reason caught her tongue her.
No matter how much it is the kingdom of Aran, if this is allowed, other countries must also be allowed, otherwise a very tiring situation will be produced.
But I didn’t want to ruthlessly throw him away, even though I didn’t know him.
“Ummm…Should I allow it as well?”
“That’s not the case!!”
The nobles shouted in bewilderment.
